I have many great memories with Kenneth, but one of my favorites that I cherish was when Kenneth was a little boy trying to pronounce words. A couple of my favorite words he would attempt to pronounce were: Hexagon- Hexxxxxigon, Caterpillar- Calipidder, A song- Edder body wants to be a cat (Aristocrats movie), Movie Director- Movie direct-tore.
Ireland McCrady
Maid of Honor
Madison is my older sister. One of my favorite memories with Madison is car karaoke when I was in high school. I was driving up the hill to our house when Madison told me to stop the car. She turned up the music, got out of the car and started to dance on the hood of the car. Any time Madison and I were together as young teens, we were double trouble. We loved to have fun and if fun was not present in the room, we were going to ensure we did something funny regardless of the consequences we would receive from our parents.
Gabe Hester

Kenny is my older brother. My favorite memory with Kenny is when I was about 4 or 5 years old. I used to make him watch the lion king movie with me everyday atleast twice a day for what felt like a month straight lol

One of my favorite memories with Hester, is when we decided to take a trip to Myrtle Beach for bike week; this was a few months after Hester and the rest of his fellow boots hit the fleet. For some reason, Hester always stood out from the rest of his peers. He had a maturity about him that most of the rest didn't. Outside of your typical hazing which Hester took with ease, we seemed to clique. He wasn't afraid of the "seniors" or to speak up about what he felt was wrong and even a few times about what he would not do. I loved a man's man. Stood up for himself and those around him. When we took the road trip to SC to blow off some steam, and see how Hester handled himself in a civilian setting. Long story short, we drank, walked around, and I got to know a side of hester that would become a brother to me. I saw him help older women with carrying groceries, smile at the kids and humbly losing to a couple in beach volleyball. That trip was easily one of my favorite moments because I took a friend to the beach and came home with a brother. It's an honor to be a part of something so sacred and beautiful as this wedding. Seeing my brother have a life time of happiness after everything he has been through.

Bridesmaid
Madison and I met through my husband, Eric. They were best friends for years before I ever came into the picture. Madison and I became friends around 2021, but became really close when I had my daughter in 2023, and Eric and I asked her and Kenneth to be Olivia's godparents. I wouldn't say I have one specific favorite memory with Madison, but my favorite favorite thing about our friendship is being able to raise our kids together. Myles and Olivia are only about one year apart and love spending time together. Knowing that they will have a lifelong friendship with someone I will have a lifelong friendship with is the best thing I could've asked for as a mom.

My favorite memory with Kenny is back when he came home from the military and we hung out at my apartment. We told stories about how life had been going, and I wasn't in the best head space at the time because I was dealing with life issues. I was hesitant about meeting up and wasn't in the best mood, but we got together anyways. By the end of the night, Kenny's positive, confident energy, along with our other friends' goofiness, had lifted my spirits and helped me forget about my problems. We had a great night full of laughter. Literal tears! His energy rubbed off on me, and as much as I originally wanted to be alone, I was glad they came out and got me out of that negative head space.
